PERFORMANCE
Ford Edge

When youā€™re shopping for an SUV, the power under the hood is a huge factor. Both the Ford Edge and the Honda CR-V have impressive engines, but which one has the power youā€™re craving?

Which Model Delivers More Engaging Performance?

Theā€Æ2023 Ford Edgeā€Æstarts strong, not only because it has a pair of incredible engines but also because it has a performance-focused trim level for the athletic drivers among us. Without a performance variant and lacking much juice from the standard motor, the Honda CR-V struggles to keep pace.

For the Edge, there's the standard 2.0L EcoBoostĀ® I-4 turbocharged engine under the hood. With this engine, the Edge produces up to 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. This potent output easily overpowers the Honda CR-V. After all, the CR-V's standard 1.5L 4-cylinder engine puts out just 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque.

Performance Package Perks

The available engine in the Ford Edge is a 2.7L twin-turbocharged EcoBoostĀ® V6, that delivers an impressive 335 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque. If you upgrade toā€Æthe Edge ST trim level, you'll have an even more energizing drive thanks to the available ST Performance Brake Package, which includes:

  • Front and rear vented disc brakes
  • Unique front rotors
  • Brushless radiator cooling fan and vented brake shields
  • Performance brake pads

In addition to lacking an available motor, you wonā€™t find any performance-altering packages in the Honda CR-V. So, if on-road fun is something youā€™re after, the Edge gets the easy nod.

SAFETY
Ford Edge

Whether you're running errands across town or embarking on your next adventure, both the Ford Edge and the Honda CR-V ensure you remain aware and alert during your travels. With their driver-assistance technologies, your SUV will always have your back.

Which Model Offers Superior Safety?ā€Æ

Both the Edge and the CR-V have similar safety systems, so you can count on them to help keep you safe. For instance, both models come standard with:

  • Lane-Keeping System
  • Rear View Camera

However, the Edge has a standard feature the CR-V only offers on higher trims: BLISĀ® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert.

What Is BLISĀ®?

BLISĀ® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert is a truly cutting-edge system. It provides a visual alert if a vehicle enters your blind spot when you're attempting to change lanes.

With the addition of Cross-Traffic Alert, you'll be able to safely reverse out of tight parking spots. This system provides a warning if it detects a vehicle approaching the rear of your Edge while you're backing out of a parking spot or driveway.

INTERIOR
Ford Edge

SUVs are known for their spacious interiors. Whether youā€™re traveling with the whole family or transporting lots of fresh vegetables from the farmers market, youā€™ll love how much room these two models offer.

How Accommodating Are Their Cabins?

Abundant space in the cabin is always welcome. How do the Ford Edge and the Honda CR-V compare? Overall, the Ford has the ā€œedgeā€ when it comes to passenger volume, measuring 13.9 cubic feet. The Honda CR-V offers quite a bit less with just 103.5 cubic feet for its passengers.

Here are some other dimensions in each SUV:

  • The 42.6 inches of front legroomā€Æin the Ford Edge is greater than the 41.3 inches in the Honda CR-V.
  • The 40.2 inches of front headroom in the 2023 Edge is greater than the 38.2 inches in the Honda CR-V.
  • The 40.3 inches of second-row headroom in the 2023 Edge is greater than the 38.2 inches in the Honda CR-V.
Which Cabin Has More Amenities?

Of course, youā€™ll also want to have other convenient features to enhance your comfort. Both models have seating for up to five passengers and dual-zone automatic climate control systems.

However, only the Ford Edge comes standard with a 12-inch center-stack multi-function screen. The Honda CR-V comes with a 7-inch screen that can be upgraded to a 9-inch display, both of which limit visibility and make it more difficult to access necessary information.
